I Am Legend [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Alice Braga, Charlie Tahan, Dash Mihok, Will Smith, Salli Richardson
directed by: Francis Lawrence

Release Date April 21, 2008
I Am Legend has a few good points but loads of bad ones.
The acting is terrific, Will Smith is very talented. The storyline is very good too but it's just a shame they didn't manage to pull it off the way I thought they would.
It was the zombies that really dissapointed me. Once they came out, it turned into some action-horror, making me forget how calm it was before-hand. I know that was the storyline but couldn't they reveal to us what the zombies looked like at in the ending? That way, I'd be a little more intrested of finding out what happened in the end.
I think the nobleness of Will Smith's character ruined the ending. It would have been so much better if he got out of his house along with the woman and her child.

The Golden Compass [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Dakota Blue Richards, Ben Walker, Freddie Highmore
directed by: Chris Weitz

Release Date April 28, 2008
what is bad about this film:

the script is APPALLING - we are spoonfed, almost literally, every action or plot-turn. subtlety is out-the-window. also, the script has been totally stripped of everything that makes it relevant or even interesting. for example, the religious allusions are non-existent. what is leftover is bland, neutral, insipid, meaningless and ultimately boring. the action scenes were action-filled but over too quickly and ultimately who cares!

what is okay about this film:

the acting is about as good as it CAN be with a script this inept. the music score, while being play-by-numbers, is effective enough, although i can't recall a single motif worth remembering once the film has finished.

The Kite Runner [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Khalid Abdalla, Atossa Leoni, Shaun Toub
directed by: Marc Forster

Release Date June 02, 2008
A good poetic look on Afghan pre-wars (80') society, with a rich and poors, casts and kites. All vanished in the storm of russian invasion and taliban's terror. Two boys, two brothers, a sad story of violence and treason, with a "sugar" happy final (but the movie isn't a "easy" film). Good cast, good plot. Only some scenes "a little" unreal, like the David vs Goliath escape from Talibans.

Little Mermaid (2 Disc Special Edition) [1989]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
by: Walt Disney

Release Date November 06, 2006
This is one of Disney's best movies of all time.
Not only is the animation amazing, but the songs are some of Disney's finest.
Ariel's friends Flounder the fish and Sebastian the crab, help her as she trades in her beautiful voice to Ursula, the sea witch, for legs so she can be with Prince Eric, whom she loves.
Of course, not all goes to plan. Ursula uses Ariel's voice to trick Price Eric into believing he loves her, not Ariel.

This is a remastered version. The colour is great and so is the sound.

This 2 disk version is packed with extras, i haven't managed to watch them all myself yet!
Well worth buying.

Get it while you can!

Release Date October 29, 2007
My daughter loves Peppa Pig, so I was planning to get it her for Christmas. I gave in and she had it early. I'm glad I did now!!
The Christmas episode it fantastic! Peppa, George and their friends ask for ONE present each, and that is what they receive. Great in these times, and a perfect way to tell your child that you don't have a bad Christmas just because you only get one gift!

I really recommend this, a real joy to watch!

Juno [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > DVDs from
starring: Ellen Page, Michael Cera, J.K. Simmons, Allison Janney, Jennifer Garner
directed by: Jason Reitman

Release Date June 09, 2008
This is by no means a laugh-out-loud joke-fest, it's much more subtle and character driven, this makes it very enjoyable to watch and I suspect I could watch this one a few times.

The reason why this one works, for me, is because all of the characters (arguably with the exception of Mark played by Jason Bateman) have redeeming characteristics. Also, they all seem quite real and therefore believable.

My only criticism is that maybe Juno could have kept the baby or at least explored that possibility. She was clearly mature enough - even if she was supposed to be 16 - and obviously had good family support (my favourite character was her Step Mum).

Also, the music was great and really added value to the film - I've since gone out ... Read More:
